HIV Hour

HIV Hour

HIV Hour is the UK's only FM radio programme & podcast about living a healthy, happy life with HIV. All the presenters are living with HIV It's only by talking openly that we can end HIV related stigma and discrimination. Taking an experience-led approach, rather than a medical one, presenters discuss the latest news from the community and explore events, services & support networks in the Brighton area and worldwide. Featuring interviews with charity workers, authors, and people telling their stories. HIV Hour aims to educate listeners and tackle the isolation many people with HIV face.
